Ex-Godflesh mastermind Justin Broadrick’s first “real” outfit since the demise of the Giant G, Jesu promises to fuse ethereal ambience with crushing doom noise.

Five tracks, four actual songs (one an obscure, very heavy Alice Cooper cover), 17 minutes, but this dark, American power metal gem is making waves in Europe.
